Had a good 2 day PSM2 at Scrum Facilitators in Amersfoort. It was not a theoretical sending but interactively discussing best practices with the group of Scrum masters and how you as a Scrum master can optimally facilitate and further expand the self-organization of a Scrum team. The lessons were facilitated by Scrum Facilitators Sjoerd Kranendonk and Jasper Alblas. Thanks for the inspiring sessions and the special location.

The online PSM 2 training Met Jasper en Sjoerd
The online PSM 2 training was very interactive, a lot of recognition with good practical examples. Working with the various liberating structures working methods is very instructive. Number I can immediately apply in daily practice.

I enjoyed two days PSPO-A training
I enjoyed two days PSPO-A training from Kai and Sjoerd. It was a fun and great course due to combination of examples Kai and Sjoerd shared what they experienced as well the way they facilitated this course with different breakout sessions. I also thought it was great balance and good energy between the two trainers eventhough the course was online.

Very good training of both Sjoerd and Kai. Both wel experienced and they managed to keep me focused whole two days. Only downside is that there is too much theory for the PSPO-A in general to cover on two days. 3 days would be better and have some more time to dive into the assignments.

Kai and Sjoerd is a very effective Product Owner trainer. The pace was really good. I enjoy the class eventhough I had to sit in this at night time. There is good enough break.

very engaging course
I really loved how Sjoerd and Jasper kept us engaged during the two days. They showed respect and allowed us to reflect and learn. Thank to them I now know more about the role of UX within Scrum and have passed my PSU exam as well.

Great class, recommended to all involved in delivering a product!
Great class, enjoyed how interactive it was and learned a lot! Sjoerd and Jasper from the Scrum Faciliators are both great trainers, approachable and engaging. And though we did this training remotely, it did not take away anything from the experience. On the contrary, it showed that as a remote team we were able to interact and collaborate together effectively all throughout the activities of the training. Highly recommended for anyone involved in delivering product!

Great content, great delivery and exercises w. large group.
Full disclosure, I am a PST. I enjoyed the advanced PSPO training a lot. The content was great and the delivery with exercises was just good, also for the size of the group (>20 people).
The trainers were also very open and incorporated our feedback from day 1 into day 2.

A lot of energy during the training
It was a very nice class. A lot of energy during the training in the room by the student and teachers. I liked the practices that you can use directly in your work as a Scrum Master. I got luggage with me to help our organisation, people and teams to grow in self-organization and in the use of Scrum technics.

In this post I want to explore whether the Increment, a core concept to Scrum, needs to be changed for Scrum in a non-IT context. In future posts, I will do the same for the Definition of Done, or other concepts that may provide a better understanding of Scrum when applied to non-IT context.

Most organizations are using Scrum, however, many of them feel like the agility of their organization has degraded, and they might be right! Often, using Scrum starts out as a way to improve development efforts coordinated within an IT division or department, but that is not the most effective organization structure to potentially get maximum benefit from Scrum.

By now, most organisations are using Scrum, however, many of them feel like the agility of their organisation has degraded, and they might be right! Often, using Scrum starts out as a way to improve development efforts coordinated within an IT division or department, but that is not the most effective organization structure to potentially get maximum benefit from Scrum. Inclusive Scrum is about looking at the full value chain and organizing your Product development effort around that. Whereas low agility Scrum might actually hurt your agility.

The purpose of Scrum is to deliver Increments of releasable functionality. So at each Sprint Review, a “Done” Increment is required to make transparent the progress made by the team.
